Satellite remote sensing data from numerous orbiting spacecraft have long been instrumental in studying and monitoring Yellowstone especially the thermal areas and geyser basins that make Yellowstone National Park famous.
Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week s contribution is from Mike Poland, geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey and scientist-in-charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.
How many earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone region in 2020? What geysers have been active recently? What sort of volcanological research is being done in Yellowstone right now? It can sometimes be hard to find such information compiled in a single, easy-to-navigate source.
But not anymore.
Weâre pleased to announce publication of the 2020 Yellowstone Volcano Observatory annual report, which can be accessed at https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/cir1482.
